cnonea L. BROWNELL, or woacasrna, MASSACHUSETTS:

ams. For. srmmno m marine memes? To all whom a my mom.-

Be it known that I, Gnonen L. BRoWnnLL,

v a citizen of the United States, residing at Worcester, in the countyof Worcester and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented a new anduseful Improvement in Fliers for Spinning and Twistmg Machines, of whichthe following is 'a's'pecification, accompanied by drawings formingapart of the same, in which Figure 1 represents a front view of a por-.

tion of the framework of a twisting machine showing in elevation one ofmy improved fliers. Fig. 2 is a detached view of the rotating flierspindle. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the same on line 3-3,Fig.

2-, and Figs. 4 and 5 are detached views of a portion of the flierirame.

Similar reference figures refer to similar parts in the diflerentviews.

My present invention relates to the construction of a flier, such asisused in spinmng and twisting machines, and it has for wmnlaims.

its objects to reduce the cost and increase the ra idity and strength ofthe fliers.

y invention consists 1n the constructio and arrangement of arts ashereinafter de scribed and pointe out in the annexed Referring to theaccompanying drawings 1 denotes a portion of the framework of a twistingmachine, in which is 'journaled in bearings 2 and 3 a revolving flier 4in form and operation similar to thatof fliers now in common use, butcontaining the features I of construction which embody my presentinvention. The flier 4 in the form shown in Fig. 1 comprises a bar 5 onwhich are mounted the scored stretching drums 6, 6., and a frame 7 whichincloses the winding reel 8 and is provided with a gudgeon 9 journaledin the bearing 3.- The bar 5 and flame 7 are attached to a rotatingspindle 10 which is shown on a lar or scale anddetached in Fig. 2. Thespin ..e 10 is provided between'its ends with cross bars 11 and 12 whichare connected at their ends by plates 13 and 14. The spindle 10, bars 11and 12. and plates 13 and 14: are formed in a le piece, and the plates13 and 14 are provi ed with screwthreaded holes lfi, 16, to receivestuds upon which the small scored guide pulleys 17 and 18 rotate.

The bar 5 is recessed upon its upper side Specification of LettersPatent. 1 Application in April 0, ma. sum n. 254,031.

'at" 19 to receive the cross bar 12 to which it 11 and 12 are alsoinserted in recesses 19- and 20 of the flier frame 7 and bar 5, so thatthe rotary motion of the cross bars is positively transmitted to the bar5 and flier frame 7 without any strain upon'the attaching screws whichpass through holes 23 and are screwed into the cross bars 11 and-12.

What I claim as m invention and desire l 1. In a machine of the classdescribed, the

to secure by Letters atent is combination with a rotating flier spindleprovided with an integral cross bar, of a flier frame provided with arecess to receive said cross bar, and means for attaching said frame andcross bar.

2. In a machine of the class described, the combination of a rotatingflier s indle having a pair of cross bars integra with said I spindle,connecting lates between said cross bars,'a flier frame interlocked withone of said cross bars, and a bar interlocked with the other of saidcross bars. I

3. The combination of a rotating flier spindle having a pair of arallelcross bars.

connected by plates, sai cross bars and plates being integral with saidspindle, a flier frame attached .to one of said cross bars and a barattached to the other of said cross bars, a pair of stretching drumsjournaled between said bar and frame, and a winding: -mechanism inclosedin said frame.

,4. In a machine of the class described,

the combination of a rotating flier indie provided with a crossbarintegral wit said spindle, a flier frame rovided with a member parallelwith sai cross bar, and means 7 for interlocking said cross bar and saidpan I allel member.'
